The (real) power of being a healer

[Akuha]

Hm. I've never used macros, honestly. I don't know how ^^; Like I said, I'm very new to this and when asking about dungeons and whatnot, I was literally only told to just heal the tank for the most part and then heal the DPSs if they need it. Actually going in and DPSing was never something I really thought about because any time I tried I managed to pick the worst moment to go through the hotbar or something (I'm also on a PS3) and suddenly my tank is back down to below 50%.

I've already been told to leave a party for trying to multitask and I really don't want to be told it's my fault again. ._.

You and the tank are always top healing priority. The DPS is always bottom priority, as if they're getting damaged it's usually their own fault for pulling too much aggro and not regulating their attacks and/or switching targets when necessary (unless the tanks sucks). As for macros, they're cake easy to use once you get a feel for them. First flip over to your actions hotbar, the one with all the red icons. Unless you fiddled with it the macro one should be L2 + Directional Button Up.

Here's a couple macro guides you can look at and learn from. The 2nd one is specifically for White Mages, but read the first one to gain a basic understanding of how they work first.
